Summer Small Gatherings – Looking for Hosts

Are you willing/able/available to host a small get-together this summer? It can be as small or as large as you want to make it. The point is to enjoy each other’s company. A signup sheet is in the East Room so that you can select the date(s) you wish to host. If you have questions or need some help in coordinating a small get-together, contact Nancy Tucker at (818) 259-1770.

Book of Job Bible Study

Pastor Leigh will be leading a study of the book of Job on Wednesdays at noon on Zoom. Please join us for a discussion of this important work.

Williams Memorial July 13 and set up on July 12

We are hosting the Memorial Service and Reception for John Williams on July 13 at 2:00 pm. In order to prepare for the reception, we will be setting up Friday, July 12 at 9:30 am. We will be setting up tables, and chairs, putting on tablecloths, and placing flower arrangements in the social hall. Please contact Claudia at (206) 369-9750 if you would like to help or have questions. We will also be supplying cookies, tea, coffee, and iced tea for the reception and of course, after the event, we will need to clean up. Sign-up sheets are in the East Room.

Festival Parking and Chairs

We have been taking reservations for parking spaces and front-row seats on Saturday, July 20. Thanks to those who have volunteered to help. We need several more volunteers: someone to come at 6:00 am to help tape off the reserved areas and another person to come between 8 and 11 AM to help with placing chairs and leading those with reservations to their seats.

Also, we need to move a large easel (48 x 76 inches and two boards (48 x 48 inches) from the Spanglers’ house to the church. This can be done anytime next week. Contact Bob Spangler (rwspang@centurytel.net) if you can volunteer for these tasks.

Work Party Cancelled

The Second Saturday work party for June is canceled.

Need Extra Plates?

We recently inventoried and organized our plates, bowls, and glasses, and in doing so have removed all the non-matching dinner plates. These are stacked in the kitchen and are yours for the taking. If you would like a few plates for whatever purpose, feel free to make them your own. Any plates not claimed will find their way to our Yard Sale.
